interesting vehicles you've owned

[kimona]

I owned a 1963 XKE 4.2 a long time ago. Exactly like this photo I found online: silver, red leather, black top. I discovered it in an underground car park with a tarp over it. Some rust, motor that burned oil, and in need of an exhaust system. My girl friend's father was a Jaguar hobbyist. He helped me completely restored the car and swapped me a freshly rebuilt 3.8 for the 4.2. What did I care when I was a kid? Car turned out nicely and was a real eye-catcher.
